Assistant Coaches

Re: Assistant Coaches

Any mention at the Best and Fariest when we are likely to make announcements?

Did Bevo hint in his speech that Edge could be an option as an afl assistant and also we are looking internally to replace Matt Innes?

Bevo seemed to confirm Martin is leaving and we want him to stay.

Very little mention of the coaching position at the BnF other than Bevo?s reference to Stef Martin leaving, and some reference by Bevo that he (as in Bevo) isn?t finished yet. Not sure what he meant by that. But Bevo would try to retain Stef.

Only unconfirmed word I?ve heard is that Kornberg to become our VFL coach and Edge to be elevated, but please take this with a grain of salt at this time.

On a separate matter, what Bevo didn?t say was probably as telling as what he did say. He thanked the Board and Kylie, and gave a special thanks to “Lukey Darcy”. Bevo then went on to thank all those around or below him for their support / work with extra thanks for Rohan. Neither Chris Grant nor Bains made it to Bevo?s list. I hope this means nothing but really hope that Bevo, Grant and Bains can sort out whatever sh1t that might be going down as it has the risk of railroading our 2024 campaign. That Bevo is singing out the praise of Darcy, whilst ignoring / bypassing Grant and Bains is downright messy for the Club.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Thanks Doc26. Interesting what you subtly picked up. Bevo is a political animal and highly likely knew exactly what he was, or was not saying.

How do the powers that be handle it?

Re: Assistant Coaches

Bevo also hoped that Des O?Sullivan (strength and conditioning coach) would put his hand up for the vacancy left by Innes.

Three enter and one leaves…

Amazing that one hasn't left already.

I must say Bevo looks like a person that has lost their spark, I hope he can turn it around let's have some fun again Bevo! Start by moving the bloody ball forward again, the players will relish the change in the restrictive game plan.

I haven't heard Bevo's speech, but I find it odd and potentially a bit antagonistic that he's publicly putting people forward for roles when all the chat has been that we want Grant and Bains to take the lead and remove some of the responsibility from Bev.

They were ad lib one liners but definitely were there.

If I stood up and undermined my bosses in front of 1,000 influential supporters I’d be worried for my job, or not giving a **** about the consequences of doing it.

Yeah jobs for mates it seems for Bevo. He's loyal to a fault. Might not be the best coach or player for a position but he'll back them if he likes them. That just doesn't fly in this league.

Yeah probably not a good look. On the flip side he wasn’t saying that he had it but that he hoped he would apply for the job. If he is not on the selection panel then probably a non-issue but see your point.

haha so it wasn't just me who noticed that at the time. I was wondering if Baines counted as 'the board' but he wouldn't

Agreed, that was odd, especially in the context of a football program wanting to embrace change. Hope that we bring in some fresh eyes for this role.

Just weird to do it in a speech and not in private. Embarrassing for the people he was talking about also.

Re: Assistant Coaches

I thought he looked a bit dishevelled up on stage for such a formal event. Agree with all the other comments as well. I was also hoping we would of announced an assistant coach yesterday but nothing on that front. Interesting days ahead.
